DKC has extensive experience in government relations and not-for-profit management. It is with this expertise that DKC meets the unique communication needs of these clients.

We understand the challenges that government-related and not-for-profit organizations face; we know what it takes to develop creative, meaningful and realistic strategies that get our clients in the headlines.

Having both an intimate knowledge of many political and public policy issues, as well as having extensive relationships with the media that cover these often complicated areas, DKC positions our clients as the experts to whom the media turns when reporting on events. That knowledge is also important in helping direct clients through the morass of local, city, state and federal agencies.

DKC has raised awareness about the innovative partnerships and aggressive scientific research of Project A.L.S. for Lou Gehrig's Disease and create events, promotions and partnerships that have heightened the visibility of The Children's Health Fund. In 2001 DKC was responsible for launching Food Bank for New York City’s first citywide hunger survey and establishing the organization's leadership as experts on hunger and poverty issues in New York City.

From East Hampton's innovative private Ross School to downtown Manhattan's prestigious Stuyvesant High School; from Berklee College of Music—among the world’s most respected music conservatories—to Stony Brook University—the 2nd ranked public research institution in the country—DKC understands both private and public education and how to implement communications programs to support strong and continued growth.

We know how to build buzz that is smart and makes a difference. And this difference is what moves our clients beyond the headlines to produce a tangible impact on fundraising, community involvement and public understanding. DKC makes a point of staying intimately involved with the issues that mold our society.
